I read several reviews of this and similar, competing products. Now in use for a couple of months (indoors) and it is doing the job I wanted. Though it was completely imperceptible, the particle count jumped one day. The air quality outside was reported as unhealthy for some reason. Not obvious as to why but a hazy day. So, I turned on our HVAC fans both up and downstairs. The fans we have are carbon filters that you use in place of the filters you would otherwise use at every vent. Within an hour of running the fans, the particle count dropped. back down to the typical value of one or two. So, I am confident that I'm getting good monitoring.I also place it in the kitchen one evening as we cooked away. The exhaust fan was on which works quite well. Nevertheless, at one point the monitor alarm went off. Opening a window to allow the fan to work better made a difference. On another occasion over the holidays, someone decided we should have candles burning everywhere. Once again the alarm went off. Was a good reason to blow some of them out.I did notice that the CO2 aspect of the device is a bit fiddly. Mine hovers around 400 and never goes up or down. Then again, why should it? I don't think that gas varies much. Our gas heater and cooking have not effects. That said, I'm not sure about calibration and can't speak to that. Frankly, CO2 is not my concern. CO, yes. CO2, no.

I tested it by blowing some smoke, put it inside, outside... It seems to work perfectly

I've wanted to test the air quality of my living space for a while and this device does just that. It's simple to use, can be calibrated to your outdoor air quality to increase accuracy. I discovered that my home is a bit too sealed up and could benefit from some air exchange! High levels of CO2 can lead to brain fog, sleepiness, and general listlessness. CO2 levels are detected in ppm or Parts Per Million. The higher the CO2, the less oxygen you're breathing, hence, the lower air quality. Levels under 700ppm are considered good. Outdoor air quality, depending on your location will be around 400+. You can also set an alarm level which will sound when it passes the set threshold. This is a very useful device for quickly testing the local air quality. I've tested the air in my basement, bedroom, car, office, among other locations. Rechargeable and cordless, it's very convenient to use. Backlit display can be turned off when testing at night while sleeping, and to conserve battery power. In addition to CO2 ppm, it also displays temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and humidity. I have literally been carrying this thing around with me to test the air quality wherever I go! It's pretty amazing. There is a slight delay when you turn it on but it seems fairly accurate, although the only way to truly test the accuracy would be to have an alternative and trusted device for comparison. If you are curious and scientifically minded, you'll find it a useful, intriguing, and reasonably priced tool for testing, indoors or outdoors. I can't recommend this enough.

Item delivered is as described. Very good sensitivity. Wish it could have Bluetooth functionality.

Monitoring CO2 levels is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get a handle on our indoor air quality. High CO2 levels can of course negatively impact our functioning, but additionally since COVID-19 is an airborne virus, by proxy high CO2 levels can indicate lack of adequate ventilation and help us make informed decisions about our environment. This is an important tool, both in the home and when traveling—measuring air quality on planes, in hotel rooms, restaurants, doctors offices, etc.With this use in mind, I wanted something small, unobtrusive, and wireless that I could just throw in my bag when going out, but couldn’t justify the expense of the more widely used Aranet 4. This Inkbird monitor, while lacking an app for tracking, is an otherwise reasonable low cost option and, like the Aranet, uses an NDIR sensor. So far the CO2 readings seem within a predictable range—around 400 outside and between 650 and 950 inside, increasing over time in occupied rooms as people’s exhalations build up and decreasing when windows are opened.A couple of downsides to this unit: most notably the battery which needs to be recharged daily. Replaceable batteries, as the Aranet has, would make this more useful for those of us taking it outside the home. The temperature measurement also swings wildly, from matching my other thermostats when running on battery to a full 10 degrees off (higher) when plugged in and charging.Overall very easy to use and calibrate, and a good value for the price.
